Question

Rick pushes a 5.2kg box with 1.5N of force. What is the resultant acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

if a 5.2kg box is pushed with 1.5N force, then the acceleration will be 0.29ms⁻².

Explanation:

Given that,

    mass of box = 5.2kg

               force = 1.5N

according to Newton's second law,

             F = m × a

                     where, F = Force applied (N)

                                 m = mass of object (kg)

                                  a = acceleration

then

     a = F / m

⇒      = 1.5 / 5.2 = 0.288 ms⁻²

thus, the resultant acceleration is 0.29 ms⁻²
